Description of the problem | On 08/17/14 at approximately 15:30, i was backing up in my driveway from a major roadway and my vehicle suddenly lost all power, steering and brakes. I looked at the driver information center and it said something like "power loss" and "battery". I was in too big of a hurry to put it in park and restart the vehicle and get out of the road to concentrate on what it was saying. I signed a lease for this vehicle on july 3, 2014 and actually was told after i signed all the papers that my vehicle was one that was involved in the ignition recall and to please drop it off at this dealer on monday, july 7, 2014 so they could replace the ignition. On monday,july 7, 2014, the dealer picked my vehicle up from my workplace, i'm just down the road. I picked my vehicle up on my way home. From that time forward, i noticed occasionally i was unable to turn the key in the ignition. Like sometimes when your steering wheel is just wrong. After a few attempts, i was able to start the vehicle. This happened maybe 5-6 times. On 08/18/14, i tried to contact my salesman and he is on vacation until next monday. I have not called the dealer back yet to report this, i am at work. My motivation for reporting this is that the ignition was replaced because of the recall. Now, i don't know that is the reason for the power failure on saturday, but i am suspicious of that replacement ignition. It's a brand new vehicle! |
